People Turned to the Internet to Find the Purpose of These Unidentified Items

The brave soul that stumbled upon this item actually touched it. We wouldn’t take our chances with this ominous-looking thing. From the description they provided, this thing was not only dripping and oddly shaped, it was also hard to touch. Would you have touched it? Especially if you saw it oozing some form of liquid?

When you’re in the woods, it’s important to know what things to avoid, such as poison ivy or a rattlesnake. I would venture to say that oddly-oozing globs are among the things you should avoid touching. As it turns out, this is a polypore fungus that is known to release excessive moisture. According to Reddit users, it’s unknown whether or not these fungi are poisonous – so we wouldn’t take any chances.
